Big House/Little House Mountains - May 9, 2015


It was an absolutely beautiful day for hiker leader Kelly O’Rourke to lead the following hikers, many of whom have not done this hike before: Charles Staples, Jeanne Densmore, Dan Ralston, Dave Borszich, CJ Woodburn, Jodi Frederickson, Dave Abdallah, Brad Young and first time hiker Allegra Deucher headed off to Lexington, VA.  According to the GPS tracker, we did ~9 miles with +2324 feet of elevation change.  Most of us did both Little and Big House mountains.  The sky's were clear and we could see miles away.  We were lucky enough to see almost a dozen lady slippers, a super fat lizard and a goat! We were a little late to see Lee’s statue in Chapel Hall at Washington and Lee University, but enjoyed ice cream instead.  On the way home we saw a guy on a motorcycle driving on Rt. 81 with his dog standing on a pillow in front of him, complete with doggles and what looked like a hat (to keep his hair from flying around of course!).
Wahoo...great hike ya’ll!!
